This small Volkswagen offers good fuel economy (although bizarrely not as good as the larger Polo) with 46mpg achievable with the 1.2-litre and 42mpg on average for the 1.4-litre. Volkswagen dealer servicing tends to be pricey, but parts costs should be reasonable enough. Residual values are among the best in the class. After three years/60,000 miles, all Fox models should be worth between 35 and 40 per cent of their original values. Insurance is low too with the 1.2-litre group 1 and the 1.4-litre in group 2.
Servicing: Oil change service every 10,000 miles/12 months. Inspection service every 20,000 miles/two years.
Warranty: Three years/60,000 miles.
